Why we as investors are to be blamed for animal cruelty?+To run a business, it needs money from investors. In return they give a monetary share as profits+Investors are doubly associated with the business+They make the business possible+They prosper from its profits
Blood Money+Our investments are our passive income+By sponsoring (investing) companies to grow their businesses we are allowing them to kill or cause cruelty to more and more animals+We prosper from these investments through dividends/profits which makes our money blood money+If we don't eat non-vegfood we shouldn't live our livelihood with such blood money too
